Rummage (Unengaged)

During a crew’s Turn, the Active model can make a Rummage Action if it is Unengaged and within 1” of a Search Token.

The Active player chooses a Search Token within 1” of the Active model and rolls two dice. Then they choose one of the following options:

Option A: Find a Chem

Choose a Common Chem with a Cap cost no higher than the total result of the two rolled dice, and add one dose to the Crew’s Roster. Alternatively, if the total of the two dice is 18 or higher, you find a Rare Chem instead! Roll on the Rare Chem table to determine which type of Rare Chem you find.

Available Chems

9 Calmex Spend before making a Rummage Action to set one of the dice to a number of your choice instead of rolling it.

Option B: Find Caps and Parts

  • The die with the higher result is how many Caps you find.
  • The die with the lower result is how many Parts you find.

Add both to the crew’s Stash.

Resolution

Then, if either of the dice shows a 10, replace the Search Token with a Radiation Token. Otherwise, remove the Search Token from play.
